Ars System Guide

The Ars System Guide is back. No matter what your budget, we've got ideas on …

Just in time for your holiday shopping needs, the Ars System Guide returns. At the bottom of the price scale, we've got the Budget Box, which is currently running below US$800 (prices do not include and OS, shipping, or handling) while giving you some decent bang for the buck. Then there's the Hot Rod, priced at around US$1,600 with more bells and whistles. Finally, there's the God Box, which sits in a radically different price range and doesn't skimp on anything (but without going to crazy and/or stupid lengths). All of the components of the three systems are now available through our new DealTime shopping engine if you're looking to drop some hints for family members during the holiday shopping season.
